According to my poll and direct conversations with people, we are overwhelmingly vaguely leaning toward Kendo. I said I'd be ready to start in February and that's ... next week.

The only problem with Seattle Kendo Kai is the fact that Keiko is Tuesday evening (no problem), Thursday evening (no problem) and Sunday afternoon (No ... oops. Game). Their website implies that attendance of every Keiko is expected of every student.

I want to do this, and I don't want to drop my game.Move game to later - this would make my game shorter, since I don't think I can ask the Covington people to stay later.

Move game to a different night - Friday would actually work fairly well for me.

Find out if the Kendo club is OK with missing Sundays on a regular basis.

Find a different Kendo club.

Honestly, I need to email Imanishi-sensei and find out about starting classes in the first place - since the dues structure is quarterly, I'm not even sure if they take new students in February.UPDATE:Stephen Matsuba, of Seattle Kendo Kai, replied to my email, suggesting that we observe a Thursday (7:00-8:30) or Sunday (3:00-5:30) practice before deciding to join.
